You can develop an add-in package on your own development computer or on a test server. The examples in this section use the Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset to create the files that are needed for the add-in package.
To install the Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset
-
Download and install the Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset from the SourceForge website (http://wix.sourceforge.net/index.html) to a folder on the development computer or test server.
-
(Recommended) You can add the path for the folder where the toolset was installed to the Path environment variable to make it easier to run the commands in the toolset.
-
Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
-
Click Advanced system settings, and then in the System Properties dialog box, click Environment Variables.
-
In the System variables list box, select the Path variable, and then click Edit.
-
In the Variable value box, add the path for the folder where the toolset is installed. For example, the following path could be added:
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin
Note You must ensure that your added path is separated from the other path entries by using a semicolon. -
Close the dialog boxes by clicking OK.
-
Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
